A new event is upon us…The Snow League is kicking off its inaugural season with a punch. You know the drill…we’ve been banging on about it for a while now – Top-tier riders, big cash prizes, and some of the highest-end sponsors that are right up Shaun’s luxury alley. If you’re one of the lucky ones who actually gets to be in Aspen, you’re in for a weekend of guaranteed psycho action you’ll remember for a long time… or at least until you wake up from the party haze. Guilty.
For those of you set for a weekend on the couch, you’re in luck. The Snow League will be streaming live on Kayo all weekend. Don’t have Kayo? You can get a first month subscription for $1… so get that sorted before it kicks off on Friday.

Wildcard Alert: Campbell Melville Ives
The rising New Zealand sensation is in the mix, and you need to know his name. A podium finisher at the 2019 US Open Junior Jam and a 6th place at the 2025 Laax Open, Campbell’s looing VERY good, he’s got style, and he’s bringing that down-under energy to Aspen.
Hosted by T Bird & Chris Grenier
If you want legit snowboard cred, these two are your guys. Between their commentary and expertise, this event is going to be as legit as it gets. A bunch of other media heads are hosting but these two count.
The Sponsors (AKA, Where the Real Money’s At):
Marriott Bonvoy, INEOS Automotive, Pacifico, Hublot, and Tiffany & Co. have all joined forces for a premium experience that’s almost too fancy for snowboarding… until you remember it’s Shaun’s shiny new event. And if you think this is just a fancy show, Pacifico’s throwing a party at The Hideaway, so don’t worry, the vibe’s not all business and diamonds .
Big Boi’s Headlining
Big Boi + Snow League = perfection. Shaun White and Big Boi have been pals for years, and now we get to enjoy the ATL flavor while the world’s best snowboarders throw down.
And just in case you forgot, this is only the first event of the season, with more to come:
- Event 2: December 4-6, 2025 – Yunding Secret Garden, China
- Event 3: February 26-28, 2026 – Buttermilk Mountain, Aspen Snowmass, USA
- Event 4: March 19-21, 2026 – LAAX, Switzerland
So yeah, this weekend is going to be wild. Pray for us in advance. Stay tuned across Transfers socials for live updates!
